2017 NFL Winner-Takes-All Picks: Week 14
There was just one standout performance in Week 13 of the WTA contest.
In this past week’s contest, there were 15 contestants who finished the week at 4 – 1. It was a tough week for selections with the Philadelphia Eagles, the best team in the NFL (in terms of their record), heading out west to face the always tough Seattle Seahawks. It proved to be a hard game to pick, along with the Vikings-Falcons game, which ended up going to the Vikings in a low-scoring affair. But one contestant prevailed over all of the others by simply making five correct picks and taking home the weekly prize.
So...congratulations are in order for @unhorsepower777 for winning Week 13!
The winnings for this week’s contest will be sent after last week’s post closes today.

Contest Rules
1 – Contestants must choose one winner for each of the selected games. Contestants can only enter one weekly submission per account. The use of multiple accounts may result in disqualification and permanent blacklisting. Submissions must be entered prior to the first scheduled game time. LATE SUBMISSIONS OR EDITS MADE TO SUBMISSIONS AFTER THE START OF THE FIRST GAME WILL BE DISQUALIFIED FROM THE CONTEST – NO EXCEPTIONS.
2 – Contestants must choose point totals for each of the Monday and Sunday night games. If there are two or more contestants with the same amount of correct picks for the week, then the contestant closest to the game point totals will be the winner. Monday night games will be the first tie-breaker and Sunday night games will be the second tie-breaker. (For the weeks when there are not one game being played on each night, special tie-break rules will be mentioned and applied.) If contestants are still tied after the tie-breakers have been applied, then the contestant who submitted their picks first will be the winner.
3 – The weekly Winner-Takes-All records of contestants will accumulate throughout the regular season to determine a WTA season winner. TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE SEASON CONTEST, CONTESTANTS MUST PARTICIPATE IN A MINIMUM OF SEVEN (7) WEEKLY WTA CONTESTS. Contestants that have four (4) or more identical selections (picks and points) of other users will not be eligible for the season contest. The three (3) contestants with the best season records will share the season pot, divided as follows:
Place | Reward Percentage |
---|---|
First | 60% |
Second | 25% |
Third | 15% |
At the end of the regular season, I will announce a potential playoff contest for a minimum of 8 top contestants throughout the season. The potential playoff format and rules have not been determined at this time, so watch for future updates.
Post Rewards and Payouts
The full SBD rewards from each of the weekly posts will be dedicated to the weekly contest payouts, seasonal payouts, and my fantasy sports development fund. These rewards will be divided as follows:
Fund | Percentage |
---|---|
Weekly | 60% |
Season | 20% |
FSD | 20% |
